I'm happy to be the first to create a monstorous Classics Devastator! Wait, what was that? Just about everyone has made one of these? Dammit!

All kidding aside, this guy was definitely inspired by ptitvite, frenzy_rumble, jbarb78 (his Mixmaster gave me a LOT of ideas) and all the other great customizers on Radicon's that have already made one. I spent a ton of time on this, taking a lot of their ideas and trying to come up with a few original twists that I hope you will like.

My main focus was to create a set of Constructicons that could of course merge, but also blend well with my Classics collection. Hence I mostly used robots that were already Constructicon colored to let me paint as few details as possible. I tried to modify the individual Constructicons as little as possible and do most of the work on the Unicron parts. I also wanted to do something with ALL the parts rather than just putting them to one side as you would in the G1 combiner days, which is what inspired the slightly lame base mode.

Without further ado, here are the pics. Comments and criticisms are appreciated:

Scrapper:

Scavenger:

Bonecrusher:

Hook:

Long Haul:

Mixmaster: This one required the most work! I really wanted to avoid parts-forming as much as possible and I'm happy to say I've most accomplished that. The one parts-forming step is taking the cement funnel in the back and hiding it in the mixing barrel.

Devastator: The big guy himself! Man, sculpting that head took about a day... I recycled as many pieces from Unicron as possible and a bunch of stuff from my odds and ends containers.

i really like what you did with the individual heads, and really great job matching the greens where you had to paint. i think you should make a codpiece, or something to cover his junk!

Actually it looks very similar but I sculpted this one myself; took a while too! The other heads had bits shaved off and plastic glued to the top for the flat head looks. Scrapper's head actually started off as G1 Onslaught's.

As for the codpiece, I need to see if I can make one that would still allow base mode to work and be pretty poseable...

Although I REALLY don't care for the pitvitstator custom myself, I have to see this is one of my favourite versions of the many different ones I've seen. It's so simple which I think helps the look of it alot
